Anatomy of an FOB price

Where every dollar of your unit cost actually goes

Most founders blow margin because they don't know what's negotiable. This is the breakdown factories use internally, the same structure across Portugal, Turkey, Vietnam, and every country in our network. Now you have it too.

Why the numbers here are realistic

We've routed $8M+ of production across 15+ countries since 2019. These ranges are what founders actually pay, not what they're quoted.

01
Live factory benchmarks
Ranges are updated quarterly from real quotes we see while sourcing for clients across every country in our network. Not a scraped price database from 2019.
02
Country-by-country reality
Bangladesh CMT is $3 to $6 below Vietnam, which is $2 to $5 below Turkey, which is $3 to $8 below Italy. The calculator reflects each country's actual range, not generic "global" averages.
03
What quotes don't show
Fabric, trims, MOQ tier, complexity, and tariff exposure. Factories don't break these out, especially across borders. We do. So you can negotiate line by line.

Calculator FAQ

Questions founders ask before they trust the number

How accurate is this calculator?
Within roughly ±8% of the final FOB quote you'll receive from any factory in our network, assuming your tech pack is complete. The ranges are built from 600+ real quotes issued across 15+ countries in 2024 to 2025, covering t-shirts, knitwear, woven shirts, dresses, denim, activewear and outerwear.
What's FOB and why does it matter?
FOB (Free On Board) is the price per unit at the factory door, before shipping, duties, and last-mile. It's the number every brand should benchmark on, especially when comparing across countries with different tariff exposure. We also show you suggested wholesale and retail so you can sanity-check margin in one glance.
Do I need a tech pack to get a real quote?
Yes. The calculator gives you a directional range so you can plan. To get a binding factory quote you'll need a tech pack with measurements, BOM, stitch types, labels, and packaging. Our $290 Tech Pack Rebuild service produces factory-ready files in 5 days, translated for any country in our network.
What if my MOQ is below 100 units?
Our network floor is 100 units per style. Below that, you're typically looking at small-batch ateliers (Portugal, Italy) or print-on-demand, which is a different economic model with different margins. Tell us your volume on the discovery call and we'll point you to the right option, even if it's not us.
Can I trust the factory matches in the PDF?
Every factory in the directory has been visited, audited, or worked with directly by our team in the last 24 months. We refuse listings from anyone who can't show a recent social audit (SMETA, BSCI, SA8000) or equivalent country certification. Same standard whether the factory is in Porto, Istanbul, Ho Chi Minh, or Dhaka.
Is my email safe?
Yes. Single-opt-in, GDPR compliant, and you can unsubscribe with one click. We never sell or share your data with factories or third parties, in any country.
